Marca took the paper in Li Xiang's hand and only glanced at it, obviously he had already prepared in his heart, and he didn't feel any surprise, but his tone was a little heavy. "Sure enough, it's Pandit."

Feeling the heaviness of Maka, Li Xiang couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"Remember Abulis? Wias? Makara crossed a chair for Li Xiang to sit down, and sat on the edge of the bed by himself.

Thinking of the little man who talks about honesty every day, Li Xiang can't help but come up with the straightforward and unpoetic name of "Mithril Trio".

But I have to say that the dwarf who has something to say has won a good favor from the two.

It's been a few days since I've seen his clumsy magic trick of turning a wine glass out of thin air, and it's a bit nostalgic.

Seeing Li Xiang nodding, Marka continued: "Unlike South Asia, the class gap in West Asia composed of the caste system is more obvious, although many parties have worked hard to eliminate this system for so many years, but it is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are three surnames among them, which have actually been the real uncrowned kings of West Asia for many years, even during the reign of the gods, they have not changed at all. They are Wias, where Ablith is located, and Pantis and Tivedi, who were mentioned above. ”

"Basically, as we all know, the eighth district, the largest district in the entire West Asia, still has the final say, and the four districts from 88 to 91 are secretly controlled by Pantis, and as for the districts after 91, more Tivedi people have the final say."

Li Xiang frowned slightly: "What about the United Council?" ”

In Li Xiang's heart, just like District 13, after getting rid of the temple, it is generally governed by a new United Council. This has basically become the norm.

"Of course, the joint council still has decision-making power, but can you imagine that six of the ten members of the council have the same surname?"

"Can it still be like this?" Li Xiang was puzzled. How can such a glaring injustice still exist?

Maka smiled bitterly: "Why not? Do you think that what has been ingrained in the soul of mankind for countless years can be erased in just a few decades? These places, whether the gods are now supreme or have regained their freedom, any force on either side has to weigh the impact on them, bow to the traditional forces, basically every place, but it is more obvious here. ”

Li Xiang thought about it for a while and understood.

It's just that he still can't understand why the free people would go back to this old path after they conquered these cities, when they had an excellent opportunity to be reborn and get rid of their stubborn diseases.

Of course, this is not a matter for free people.

As if seeing that Li Xiang didn't understand, Marka smiled and said, "I'll tell you something that no one has mentioned anymore." About the first cities in Western Asia that were conquered by the freedmen. ”

Speaking of these lost histories, Li Xiang suddenly sat down.

Marca took a deep breath, organized his words, and then said: "Actually, when the West Asia branch was just established from the Asian headquarters, because there were two super powerhouses to follow, it didn't take much effort to conquer these dozen or so districts. At that time, the commander-in-chief of West Asia had great ambitions and implemented a series of policies despite the opposition of several major families; But in the two years since the policy was introduced, the freedmen in West Asia have suddenly become inaccessible, and even their prestige has plummeted. ”

"The Three Families were outwardly on good terms with the Freedmen, but secretly they were inciting countless people against the Freedmen, and the well-thought-out tactics were not carried out here, and two years later, a large-scale civil war finally led to the commander being dismissed from his post and never allowed to set foot in West Asia. And that civil war of mankind also announced the victory of several major families with the fall of two super powerhouses. ”

Marca said it lightly, but Li Xiang felt the cruelty and reality of that black generation from that calm language.

A commander with a heart for the world was expelled from West Asia by the group of people he wanted to help.

The two super powerhouses did not die on the battlefield fighting the gods, but turned into dry bones in the hands of humans themselves.

In order to appease the wrath of the traditional forces, the hero is finally forced to make a disgraceful vow never to set foot in this land.

Li Xiang's heart fluctuated for a while, as if a stone was pressing on his heart, making him a little breathless.

Apparently, he was having the same problem as the commander today.

"What did Hongda say?" Li Xiang sighed slightly, putting these things behind for the time being.

"Same." Marca said in a deep voice, "According to the information from Hongda, all the evidence points to the same person, Suluk? Pantis, now the head of the United Council, and the missing vigilante captain used to be a bodyguard for his family, while Xu Song was only Suluk's chauffeur before entering the underworld. ”

Maka paused for a moment and said the last sentence that Hong Dansheng confessed.

"Hongda tells us to pay attention to safety and don't be impulsive."

Li Xiang's brows couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that Li Xiang didn't speak, Marca knew that he was thinking about things, and he also fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, Li Xiang finally spoke again: "We don't have enough evidence now. ”

Maka suddenly understood that Li Xiang did not give up the idea of continuing to investigate. In this regard, Maka thinks the same as Hong Dansheng.

They all know Li Xiang's temperament, and his thoughts are not something that anyone can change at all.

Marca didn't let this heavy atmosphere continue, and asked with a smile: "Over there in District 90, it's nothing, right?" ”

Li Xiang shook his head: "I have to move out tomorrow." ”

Ma Jia remembered Ma Chunlin's attitude and words just now, and couldn't help sighing, "Li Xiang, I'm sorry. ”

"It's just a different choice, nothing." Li Xiang comforted him in turn.

If you want the Ma family to leave the center of this storm, the only way is to cut off Ma Chunlin's thoughts, and Li Xiang will leave directly, which is the best choice.

Although Ma Chunlin's senses to Li Xiang were extremely poor, Li Xiang still didn't want to let the Ma family lose anything because of himself, not to mention that Ma Jia was very likely to be the next head of the family.

Seemingly knowing what Li Xiang was thinking, Marka smiled: "Don't always think about me, in fact, since the last incident, I don't have much idea about this so-called family, but I feel that leaving here and doing something with you is the best choice." ”

"The Mithril Trio?" Li Xiang suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Maka finally confirmed that Li Xiang really didn't care about what Ma Chunlin did, and immediately laughed out loud: "I don't know how Abu is now?" ”

It's been so long since I went back, and the little man seems to be missing, and he doesn't even have a message.

What they didn't expect was that the proposer of the vulgar combination of the "Mithril Trio" was facing a test at this time.

Wias Manor, covering an area of several hundred acres, even today when the temple faith is becoming more and more solid, no one dares to directly challenge its status in the eighth district.

The simple and exquisite food looks a little monotonous on a long clean and white table.

Indeed, with the exception of South Asia, the way in which food is distributed is destined to be impossible to be as varied.

Still abiding by the tradition, after a quiet dinner, it was finally time for the family to express their opinions.

It's just that the middle-aged man in a simple robe at the end of the long table doesn't look very good.

He was already middle-aged, put down the information in his hand, and looked at his son on the left, who was still holding the explosive head, "There is no reason for us to hand over all the Mithril business to one channel, even if we want to do this, I think the best choice is to use the deep friendship between Pantis and us for hundreds of years." Although the misfortune that happened to their connectors did not mean that they were not capable of doing better. ”

This man, who looked like an ordinary monk, subconsciously stopped all movements when he spoke, and no one dared to interject.

He looked at his son and continued: "It's right for people to know how to be grateful, and I also know that this accident has allowed you to establish some friendship with the other party, but business is only business after all, profit is the first factor we have to consider in this matter, since they saved my bloodline, I can increase their share of trade to sixty-five percent." I wonder if the family members have anything to add? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the first on the left was the handsome, fair-skinned youngest son, who folded his hands and said, "Dear Dad, I have something to say." ”

"Prady, express your wisdom." The middle-aged man was very appreciative.

Prady bowed slightly to the crowd, and the etiquette was thoughtful and pleasing to the eye. "Dad, Xu Song's death does not affect our good relationship with Pantis, you are right, we must start from the most basic business principles in doing business, and not mix too many personal feelings. With more money and a more stable background than the Ma family, and with the endorsement of the Chief Council membership, there is no doubt about their security, and they have never gone wrong in the two years they have been involved. We have no reason to reduce the share of trade with such quality partners, although the other side saved my dear brother. ”

The middle-aged man nodded appreciatively. The row of ladies standing behind him smiled approvingly.

Between the two brothers, this handsome young man has always been more endearing, especially the girls.

The middle-aged man adhered to the principle of listening and understanding, and did not jump to conclusions immediately, but looked at his eldest son. Although he had caused some trouble to the family because of his appearance, the middle-aged man felt that this was a test of God for the family.

The little man crossed his fingers, his two thumbs slowly made winding movements, and his eyes looked at his younger brother who was better than him in many aspects with clear and gentle eyes, with a faint smile on his face: "Dear Dad, you have always taught us to be honest and trustworthy people. In fact, you should also know that there is only so much Mithril business, no matter which party the profit is given, it is the same, and the same has not had a problem for so long; There's no security or anything like that, and I've made sure that they have enough to keep our business going. ”

"Before this transaction, you also told me that if I can do a good job, you are willing to let me take over more family affairs; And I'm sure I didn't let you down. Now, in return for their kindness, I have made a promise, is Dad going to make me a villain with no integrity at all? I can't let Wias's centuries-old reputation be ruined in the hands of a child, right, Daddy? ”

The middle-aged man was silent, and after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that there was a lot of truth.

The man's silence means he's thinking.

When a wise man thinks, he cannot be disturbed.

So everyone folded their hands and waited for the final answer.

"It's really rare that you can always put your family's reputation first." The middle-aged man finally raised his head again, made a final decision, and said, "So be it." As a token of Willis's gratitude, we have doubled the share of the trade from 35 percent to 70 percent, and as for Pantis, you have a close relationship with them, so you can explain it to His Excellency Suluk, and say that this is my decision. ”

"Okay, Dad." Pilates quickly got up and folded his hands.

Once the man decides, then it is the express statement of the wise man, and it is also the final conclusion, and no one can change this.

He took a deep look at the ugly brother who was smiling triumphantly across the street, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The little man's eyes always fell on Pilates, until his father got up and left with all the female dependents, leaving the servants to clean up the table, then he walked over, looked at his younger brother and said, "Pilates, please negotiate with Suluk." ”

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely get things done. You have just taken over this business, so you must be careful in the future to avoid further accidents. If something goes wrong with you, Dad will be very sad. Pilates looked at his brother with a sincere face.

Although the whole family is up, everyone knows that this younger brother has looked down on the ugly brother since he was a child.

The little man felt a pain in his heart involuntarily, but he still forced a smile: "Is there a result of what Dad asked you to check last time?" ”

After the assassination, Pilates took over the investigation, and now, a long time later, Pilates has not submitted a new report.

Of course, the little man knows that the greater probability is that this matter will not be resolved in the end.

Pilates shook his head and said, "I have made proper arrangements, but there are too few clues, if my brother has any good suggestions, you can tell me." ”

"It's okay, I'll just be careful in the future." The little man stretched out his hand and wanted to pat his brother on the shoulder, but found that the other party had already taken a step back.

He laughed dryly, pulled back and touched his nose, and said dryly, "Pilates, you know what? You're my only brother, so no matter what you do, he'll be on your side, but no matter what, you must remember that unity is a fine tradition that our family has been adhering to for hundreds of years, and we must not lose it to our brothers. ”

"Brother, don't worry. This, grandpa taught us since childhood, how can we forget it? "Pilates is still soft.

The dwarf nodded, said no more, and left the restaurant.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but call Marka.

On the other end of the phone, Marka and Li Xiang were looking for a new place to live, preparing for Li Xiang's move tomorrow.

The two had been shopping for more than an hour, and finally Marca said helplessly: "If it really doesn't work, let's stay in a hotel for a while." ”

I looked for a lot of places, but Maka really didn't look good.

Li Xiang didn't have any requirements, as long as he had a place to sit, but Marca felt that he couldn't save money on this kind of thing no matter what.

For this mission alone, the profit distributed to Maca was enough to be more than eight million, and Maca even wondered if he would buy a new house directly.

But he was a little reluctant, after all, he had more important things to do with the money he had saved. There are still 108,000 miles away from his goal, and he doesn't dare to spend money indiscriminately now.

Picking up the communicator and seeing that it displayed Abulis's number, Maka's eyes lit up: "It's Abu." ”

Li Xiang stopped.

Marca answered the phone, and soon came Abulis's voice that always felt sonorous. His magnetic voice is as powerful as it can infect people.

"Good news for you, my dad has promised to give us seventy percent of the Mithril business."

Marka's eyes widened.

He always thought that Abulis was just making a dispensable joke, but he didn't expect to be so serious and efficient.

All at once, the amount was doubled.

"Abu, you're really efficient." Marca sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Abulis smirked, "Who am I?" If I can't even get this little thing done, how can I have the face to call the Mithril trio, you know, we are the strongest combination to monopolize the Mithril business. ”

"When will the next shipment arrive?" We need to prepare in advance. Marca excited.

I have to say, this is good news.

"There will be more than ten days, and I will tell you again, but this time it is a volume of four billion, can you and Li Xiang swallow it with confidence?" Ablis touched on one of the most important issues.

Four billion!

Even the Ma family has to rely on the West Asia branch to do two billion cash transactions, although there can be a good income, but the risk is still huge.

Now it has suddenly doubled, and in Abulis's words, if you have to leave aside the Ma family, where can you find such an astronomical number?

Marca knew that the deal was going to be won no matter what. Not to mention the meaning behind the Mithril business, they can't let go of the opponent just by hitting them.

"It's okay, you can arrange it, I'll figure out a way with Li Xiang for the rest, anyway, there is still time." Marca directly took it down.

Abulis said suddenly: "You let Li Xiang answer the phone." ”

Maka handed the phone to Li Xiang.

Abrith's voice over there suddenly became a few decibels lower, and he also became extremely serious: "Li Xiang, this time we can say that we are taking food from the tiger's mouth of Pantis, you must pay attention to it in the near future." ”

Abulis's tone made Li Xiang realize the seriousness of the situation, and he couldn't help but say, "What about you?" ”

"Don't worry, as long as I'm at home before the transaction, nothing will happen. I'm worried about what happens to your side, and maybe there will be trouble when it comes to the final transaction. But in any case, we can't let the share that we have won so hard this time go wrong, otherwise the next thing will be even more difficult to do. "Ablis has already considered all the possibilities.

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, we can handle it ourselves." ”

"The most important thing for you and Maca now is to get the money together first, I'll tell you the bottom, the change I can use in my own hands is no more than 500 million, even if you work hard, under absolutely safe circumstances, it will be at most 1 billion, and you can only do it yourself." Abulis said.

500 million in change?

Next to him, the muscles on Maka's face, who also heard this, twitched subconsciously.

People are more popular than people.

That's all the cash that the entire Ma family can take out now, right? Is this still change?

I have to say that Abulis did give them a chance to make a lot of money.

"Don't worry, we can handle it." Li Xiang promised.

Winning the Mithril business is the first step to be taken in West Asia, which is not only related to their own interests, but also related to the right to speak in the future.

"I trust you, and don't forget that we're the strongest Mithril trio." Ablis hung up.

Marca thought about it for a while, compared all the ways that he could get the money, and said: "Now there is only one way, which is to ask for help from the West Asia Branch, otherwise with the current connections and channels of the two of us, this money will not be able to be handled by the monkey year and month." ”

That's four billion.

"Can't always be the West Asia Division. Otherwise we will be passive from the start. Li Xiang thought for a while and said.

In the last conflict in the West Asian Branch, he could be regarded as seeing the attitude and opinion of the free people towards these second-hand dealers. Doing business is supposed to be based on equality and mutual benefit in order to last a long time, and Li Xiang doesn't want to lose this principle from the beginning. Moreover, he is not a Ma family, and he does not need to look at the face of the 90th District or even the West Asian Branch.

Ma Ka was embarrassed: "However, even our Ma family can't come up with so much money." ”

This is not 400,000, 40 billion in cash, almost the entire 90 districts can be taken out at once, right?

"I'll make a phone call first." Li Xiang dialed a number and quickly got Li'anguo's private number.

On the phone, Li Anguo's slightly tired voice sounded, and Li Xiang realized that it was almost late at night, and this conscientious man probably hadn't returned home yet.

"Four billion? No problem, but I have one condition. ”

"Say."

"In business, according to the normal interest rate, from the moment you get the money, I want six percent interest, that is, 24 million."

"Good!"

"Set a good time and let me know three days in advance."

"Good!" Li Xiang deducted the phone and handed it to Marka: "It's done!" ”

"What? Nailed it? Marka's eyes widened, he only knew that after Li Xiang made a phone call, he said a few words. That's four billion?
